The HRTech Wire · auto-curated
HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
Agentic AI dominated today's HR-tech news, with UKG launching voice-enabled and agentic pay tools for frontline workers, Hubstaff introducing a workforce data layer for AI agents, and JumpCloud extending identity and access management to cover the emerging agentic workforce. On the talent side, Elly debuted an AI-native recruiting platform pairing AI with human recruiters, iCIMS research found workers are self-teaching AI skills faster than employers can train them, and Gusto data linked small-business AI adoption to faster hiring. Regulatory tension ran through the day as well, with the OpenAI-PERM case spotlighting AI hiring risks, a California bill moving to ban emotion-reading tools in the workplace, and ongoing debate over what fair, regulated AI hiring should look like in the U.S.
